Simon-Kucher & Partners Asia-Pacific

Over the past 30 years, we’ve worked in all major industries for clients from A- to… well, -Z. If a specific industry really sets your heart racing, chances are, we’re working in it. You might be wondering- all of this from a pricing consultancy?? While we do trace our roots to pricing, we’ve since expanded our reach into other areas, like marketing, sales, and strategy within a variety of industries. We’re very committed to working within our areas of expertise, but our background gives us a solid foundation for a variety of project work.

Ravi, a consultant in Boston, was thrilled to find himself on a pricing project that saw a highly anticipated pharmaceutical product introduced into a market with a direct competitor launching simultaneously. Ravi and his team used quantitative and qualitative analysis and even game theory to predict market reactions and responses to the product. The results of the project fed into the client's strategic planning and business forecasting, and Simon-Kucher & Partners helped the company determine a pricing strategy each step of the way until the product launch. Said Ravi, “It’s exciting to be an integral part of the development and launch of cutting edge products and technologies.” Jon, a consultant with an MBA and a PhD in pathology, likes the fact that he’s able to be involved in projects related to his thesis topic through his involvement in pharmaceutical projects. Annette, a senior director in Zurich who joined Simon-Kucher & Partners in 2002, has worked on a variety of projects, from pricing strategy for e-books to setting the prices for tires for earth moving equipment: “The broad spectrum of projects keeps the job interesting, even after all these years”, she says, “And the people I work with are great- motivated, friendly and smart”.

Your growth

Simon-Kucher & Partners is committed to double-digit growth. And we mean it. Last year, we reported record revenues of $252 million. Our growth plan for 2018 has us primed for an 18% increase in revenue. And fortunately, as we grow, so do you. Mike, the consultant who counts his co-workers as friends inside and outside of the office, joined the company amidst the worst recession in decades. He started as an entry level consultant (C1) and has since been promoted three times in almost as many years. In that time, his responsibilities have increased significantly: where he was once guided through analyses by project managers, he now manages work streams, gives client presentations, and represents the firm at industry conventions.
